Miért a Korai Hozzáférés?

„Multiplayer is LIVE and READY.
We really believe the game is best with both multiplayer and single player modes so we went early access primarily to finish single player mode while people start playing multiplayer and give us feedback.

The game is *almost* done. Specifically the multiplayer gameplay is great and ready for real players to pound away and have a great time. The discs have interesting mechanics and feel quite different from each other. We have cool new levels for multiplayer and dedicated servers are up and running.

While we finish the single player mode and get other features into the game (like some new equipment and attribution), we'd love to see the community play the game and give us feedback to balance the game more and to overall smoothen out the online experience. Let us know what you like and don't.

Thanks!”

Körülbelül mennyi ideig lesz ez a játék a Korai Hozzáférésben?

„We plan to be full release sometime during summer 2017.”

A tervek szerint miben fog különbözni a teljes verzió a korai hozzáférésűtől?

„The primary difference will be the inclusion of a single player mode called "League Challenge". This is a tournament mode where you play against various AI with their own personalities and levels of difficulty. This mode needs some TLC after all of the major changes that have occurred for multiplayer gaming (like new throw mechanics, join/leave anytime during matches, different scoring, etc).

Features we would like to add:
- League Challenge (single player mode): compete against 30 other teams through 4 tournaments with varied AI and challenge levels. Play 1v1, 1v2 or 1v3 to prove your skill.
- New Equipment: new helmets, new uniforms. We have 2 female uniforms in the works and 2 new helmets
- Equipment Attribution: we want the equipment to influence gameplay. Not to completely change the game but to influence and accentuate different parts of your play style.
- New Disc (Kyokusen): we have another disc we've been tuning. It's special and has required a lot of changes. It's mostly nuance stuff. We should have this one ready soon.
- Stealth Mode: This is something I really want. In the garden or in the basement of the pyramid where it is dark - I want a way to power down the disc and sneak around.
- One more multiplayer level: we have chunks of another level but don't have it assembled yet
- Better Oculus Rift Touch Support: Disc League was built for SteamVR. SteamVR supports Rift. We have heard some beta testers say they have been using Rift during all our tests and that it works great. Once we verify internally that this is the case, we'll update the supported platforms. We would also like to add some specific controls to help Rift players playing with 180 degree setups.
- Netcode tuning: from experiences online with you, we will see if we can tighten up the netcode smoothing and prediction algorithms
- General useability updates: also from user feedback we would like to make adjustments to make the game more comfortable to use

To be clear, single player mode is much different from the multiplayer experience. It takes place in smaller arenas with no cover to hide behind, targeting is disabled, and possibly teleportation will be disabled as well. Single player league challenge is a rawer test of skill in targeting and defense in fast, face to face, encounters against many teams of AI, one match at a time. It is simpler but very satisfying and works well as a single player experience.
We tried this type of gameplay as a multiplayer experience and found it not as fun, hence the levels and features you see in the multiplayer experience now. Maybe we'll blog about the experience later, for now we just want to work hard and deliver a great and more complete game.”

Milyen állapotban van jelenleg a korai hozzáférésű verzió?

„The multiplayer game is ready.
If you want to jump online and compete in disc throwing combat... it is ready.

The main reason for going Early Access is that we don't have single player done. Besides that there are those side things, like equipment attribution and a few more assets, maybe another level.

We believe the game will feel more rounded with single player, and we busted our tails to make the single player fun. So we're pushing the multiplayer out now while we finish that.”

Eltérően lesz árazva a játék a korai hozzáférés alatt és azt követően?

„We plan on increasing the price after early access. We are going to increase it because we feel that the game offers more value as a multiplayer and single player game, instead of a pure multiplayer game as it is now.”

Hogyan tervezitek bevonni a közösséget a fejlesztés folyamatába?

„Right here, through the Steam forums we would like to hear what people think.
Our plan is to stick to the features we've outlined in the Early Access section so that we can get out of early access but if something in our design needs to change then we will try to adapt.
Please let us know what is awesome and what is not.”
